Pixelating on FOX?

[Guest]

Anyone see lots of pixellations in "24" Monday night and "House" last night
on FOX? Here in Austin, "24" was pretty much unwatchable in HD and House
was only borderline watchable due to the constant picture / audio breakups.
SD channel fine. TW Cable says problem is in the signal coming to them from
either the Austin station or "down off the satellite", meaning, I suppose,
in the transmission from the network.

But I wondered if anyone in other markets had seen this problem.

Yes, I saw the same thing during American Idol last night, and had to
switch back to the regular Fox channel. In a way, it's good to know
that someone else is seeing this, so I know it's not my new HDTV, or
local cable company. BTW, I'm in Huntsville, AL.

No problems here in Philly. Both shows were just fine.

I don't have FOX in HD; but...

I had pixalization and sound drop-outs on one of my HD channels and the
cable guy cut off the connector (off the cable) and put on another one
and the problem was solved (also now have much better picture quality on
all stations).

Note: this was not a case of one program but everything on the channel
had constant signal breakups. So, if the problem persists then consider
this possibility.
